What’s in the box?

The Arduino Plug and Make Kit is based on an innovative hardware approach: components connect together – no breadboard, jumper wires, or soldering needed.

Inside the box:

• Arduino UNO R4 WiFi main board: The powerhouse of your projects.
• 7 Modulino® nodes: Sensors and actuators for various functionalities.
• Modulino Base: Keeps your projects neat and organized.
• USB-C® cable with USB-A adapter: Power up and upload code effortlessly.
• Qwiic cables: Seamlessly connect Modulino® nodes and the Arduino board.
• Spacers, screws, and nuts: Secure everything in place for permanent installation.

The Plug and Make Kit is designed to be easy, quick, and fun. Complexity is taken care of, so you can turn your ideas into operational devices even in a single session. Start a new hobby or perhaps a lifelong passion by accessing the full potential of technology – and yours.

What are Modulino® nodes?

Modulino® are sensors and actuators that connect via the UNO R4 WiFi’s onboard Qwiic connector. They’re polarized, so there’s no guessing which side goes where. You can connect multiple nodes for more complex projects.

Included Modulino® nodes:

• Modulino® Knob: Super-fine value adjustments.
• Modulino® Pixels: Eight LEDs for brightness, dimming, or color changes.
• Modulino® Distance: Time-of-flight proximity sensor for precise distance measurements.
• Modulino® Movement: Captures movements like pitch, roll, or tilt.
• Modulino® Buzzer: Generates alarm sounds or simple tunes.
• Modulino® Thermo: Monitors temperature and humidity.
• Modulino® Buttons: Three buttons for quick project navigation.

Other accessories included:

• USB-C® cable: 1
• Qwiic cables: 7
• Modulino® base: 1
• Screws M3 (10 mm): 24
• Nuts M3: 20
• Metal spacers: 4

The Plug and Make Kit empowers you to turn your ideas into reality with ease. Dive into the world of DIY electronics and discover the joy of creating!
